The Glentauchers 2012 SV 100 Proof Edition #8 is an exceptional single malt whisky from the renowned Speyside region of Scotland. Distilled in 2012 and matured for 11 years in first fill Oloroso sherry butts, this whisky is a testament to the artistry of Signatory Vintage, the independent bottlers responsible for its release. Bottled at a robust 57.1% ABV and free from chill filtration, this whisky offers a full and robust flavor profile that appeals to connoisseurs and casual drinkers alike. This dram is bursting with complex layers of flavor. The prominent notes of oak and potent alcohol are complemented by an array of spices, fruit, and honey. While some may prefer to add a few drops of water to mellow its sharp edges, others will delight in its strong character. The high alcohol content amplifies its rich and full aroma, which is imbued with hints of overripe orchard fruit, vanilla, and subtle wood tones. For those searching for a delicate whisky loaded with sweetness, fruit, and chocolate notes, the Glentauchers 2012 SV 100 Proof Edition #8 is an ideal choice. It’s sweet and fruity without any overwhelming bitterness, making it a great "women's whisky." Its easy-to-taste profile offers a pleasant warmth and a highly commendable price-to-quality ratio. The nose is delicate with multi-floral honey, raisins soaked in boiling water, honeydew apples, peaches, and mango, later evolving into suede, chocolate, and delicate oak notes. The taste is sweet, featuring honey, ripe cherries, plum jam, sultana raisins, black cherries, and spices, with a slightly spicy finish highlighted by notes of dark chocolate. The finish is long, pleasant, and sweet with honeycomb, strong sherry accents, raisins, chocolate, burnt sugar, and a warming sensation. This whisky is a prime example of Signatory Vintage's high-quality offerings and is a rare find that is a must-try for whisky enthusiasts.
